Highlighted Show chord diagrams
Capo on 2nd fret I performed this song at my school's pop show and the second and last verse, I translated to spanish. At the bottom of this tab, I've done so just in case you want to make it interesting.. (Strum these chords once at a time:) (no intro) 1st Verse: D Em You and I in a little toy shop G A Buy a bag of balloons with the money we got D Em Set them free at the break of dawn G A Till one by one, they were gone D Em Back at base, bugs in the software G A Flash the message: Something's out there... D Em Floating in the summer sky G A D Em G A 99 Red Balloons go by... 2nd Verse: D Em 99 Red Balloons G A Floating in the summer sky D Em Panicking, it's red alert G A There's something here from somewhere else D Em War machines spring to life G A Opens up one eager eye D Em Focusing it on the sky G A D (hold) Where 99 Red Balloons go by... (pick back up with 3rd Verse:) D Em 99 Decision street G A 99 ministers meet D Em To worry, worry; super scurry G A Call the troops out in a hurry D Em This is what we've waited for G A This is it, boys, this is war D Em The president is on the line G A D Em G A As 99 Red Balloons go by... 4th Verse: [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/n/nena/276851.html ] D Em 99 knights of the air G A Ride super high-tech jet fighters D Em Everyone's a super hero G A Everyone's a Captain Kirk D Em With orders to identify G A To clarify and classify D Em Scramble in the summer sky G A D Em As 99 Red Balloons go by... G A D Em G A As 99 Red Balloons go by... (Strum these last chords once at a time:) 5th Verse (last verse:) D Em 99 dreams I have had G A In each and every red balloon D Em It's all over and I'm standing pretty G A In the dust that was a city D Em If i could find a souveneir G A Just to prove the world was here D Em And here is a red balloon G A (pluck D string once) I think of you and let it go... (Now for the 2nd and last verse spanglish translation:) 2nd Verse: 99 Globos De Air Flotando en cielo verano Panico, rojo alerta Algo aqui de algun donde else Guerra maquina vine vida Abre un ojo ansioso Centrado en el cielo Donde 99 Globos pasan 5th, Last Verse: 99 suenos yo habia En cada globo de aire It's all over and I'm standing pretty En el polvo que era una ciudad If I could find a souveneir Al probar el mundo fue aqui And here is a red balloon I think of you, and let it go... The reason why the spanish says "99 globos de AIR" is because in german, "luftbalons" means "air ballons" but in english, i kept it as "Red" because that's how the song is known. In spansih, not to many people would notice this change. It's kind of just for my own good. I hope you enjoyed and/or found this helpful (:  |
